Religion, now with nuts!
Check out this quote from Pat Robertson on the home of the internet crazies, NewsMax.
“I think that they [the Obama administration] just aren’t willing to confront what’s out there,” he said. “You talk about evil. (Iranian President Mahmoud) Ahmadinejad, we’ve studied him, studied what he says. He is a fervent — and I mean this deliberately — he is a fervent believer in the 12th Imam that he calls the Mahdi.
“And he believers the Mahdi is living in a well just south of Qum in Iran, and he believes that the Mahdi is going to return to earth during his administration. And the Mahdi will only come after there is universal chaos and great destruction and then he will rebuild, according to their belief,” Robertson said.
“Now, you say this is nutty, but he is nutty. He’s crazy but he spoke about this at the United Nations. He speaks about it often, and he would not hesitate to incinerate Israel if he thought it would hasten the coming of the Mahdi.”
Now, let’s substitute ‘Mahdi’ with, oh, let’s say ‘Jesus’. And let’s substitute the implied thoughts of Ahmadinejad with Bush…
“and he believes that Jesus is going to return to earth during his administration. And Jesus will only come after there is universal chaos and great destruction and then he will rebuild, according to their belief,” Robertson said.”
“Now, you say this is nutty, but he is nutty. He’s crazy but he spoke about this at the United Nations. He speaks about it often, and he would not hesitate to incinerate Iraq if he thought it would hasten the coming of Jesus.”
Sound like Revelations to you, or just the last decade?
Yes, all religions have their nuts. I haven't read it but I'll bet that the Quran has a number of steps to human perfection before the time of chaos. None of us have come close to perfection yet so the world isn't going to disintegrate as long as we keep moderate people in leadership and keep trying to follow the Golden Rule.
I've tried to read the Quran a couple of times. I can't get the hang of the writting. Have you read the Quran? I would like to find a modern translation of it.
